For more than 25 years, Fox Valley Technical College and five Northeast Wisconsin higher education partners have worked together to help students advance their education, build careers and strengthen our region's workforce.

The challenge ahead is significant. While 46.8% of Wisconsin adults currently hold a postsecondary degree or credential, approximately 70% will need one to meet future workforce needs.

That's why we're reaffirming a simple message: Wisconsin needs strong technical colleges and strong universities working together.
